(1981) The Sea Wolves
WAR
Depicting a particular time in WWII history in which theirs a small group of Special Operatives Executives, who are a bunch of senior men rallying together in combating some Nazis hiding in neutral waters in Goa, Turkey, succeeding in transmitting signals against sinking many hidden allied war ships. The movie stars Gregory Peck, Roger Moore and David Niven portraying real life characters on a mission that was not divulge to the open public, but are finally made into a film based on a book written by James Leasor from actual transcripts, and directed by Andrew V. McLaglen director of some John Wayne Westerns. It's main problem is that for a film that is two hours it sometimes feels way too long, that at times one may want the story to move right along, cutting to the chase for it drags. Upon seeing this film a long time ago while flipping the channels as a young kid, initially thought I was watching Roger Moore playing the James Bond role again but was disappointed that he wasn't, but upon re-watching it again as I'm older realized that his persona is similar to it without doing very much except to act in the same movie with some veterans as Peck and Niven. If it wasn't based on true events would've given this film a mediocre rating for it's entertaining value, since it sometimes feels lifeless.
